Canada Day 2019

Far from a celebration of independence, Canada Day marks the anniversary of Canada being united into one country as part of the British Empire, combining the three areas of Canada, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick into a shiny new package. No longer a dominion of the UK but a proud member of the Commonwealth, Canada still retains the Queen as its head of state, putting Liz’s face on their dollars.

If you’re Canadian or know someone who is, you’ll have plenty to look forward to – wherever you are in the world. Canada’s famously friendly folk host parties, concerts, carnivals, festivals and so much more to mark Canada Day, and some people even celebrate citizenship ceremonies.
